Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins
This may just be my favorite muffin to date. It is absolutely delicious and super easy to adapt to suit your own particular flavor cravings. I got the original recipe from SparkPeople.com and I have included the link below for your perusal. The moist texture and cinnamon flavor are absolutely wonderful in this 94 calorie treat. They have officially become part of my breakfast regiment!
Ingredients:
-1 cup Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
-1 cup skim milk
-1 cup wheat flour
-1/2 cup brown sugar (I suggest granulated)
-1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
-2 egg whites
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 tsp granulated sugar
Directions:
-In large bowl, combine oats and milk and let sit for 1 hour
-After 1 hour, set oven for 400
-Add applesauce and egg whites to oat mix
-In smaller bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar
-Add to wet mix until just mixed together
-Fill lightly sprayed muffin tin (12 muffins)
-Bake 15-20 minutes

Notes:
-Original recipe calls for cinnamon and granulated sugar to be added on top (I like them in the mix).
-Original recipe calls for 20 minute baking time (I think it's a little too long).
-Original recipe calls for salt (I took it out).
